BetterWorldBooks Makes Donating Old Books to Charity So Easy You Don?t Have to Leave the House

BetterWorldBooks isn't a new service by any means, but if you're doing a little decluttering for the new year, the service can help you donate old books and textbooks easily. They even send you a free shipping label to send them away to be resold on their site, where the proceeds go to schools, libraries, and literacy programs.

Donating books isn't difficult, but if you have a ton of them, even libraries may turn you away and ask for only a few at a time. If you'd rather let the donation box come to you, BetterWorldBooks makes it easy to donate your books?just tell them what you have to offer, and the service will pay for you to ship the books to them. If you'd rather get some money back for your books, the service will buy your textbooks from you, too.

The books the site collects go up for sale on their site, and the money goes to fund school libraries, community libraries, and literacy programs around the world. Any books that aren't or can't be sold are donated or recycled. If decluttering is on your agenda and you have a lot of books, donating them doesn't get easier than this. If you'd rather make some money off of your books, we have a guide for that, too.
